Damn, sad to hear about both these changes. Not that Anarchy dp affects me and I'm not the master of getting 6s but.. It was fucking fun to fight over 6s at least. Now the looting game is completely gone.. No need to pay attention anymore.

Change to short allocation, so simple solution.

So you just confirmed that you have no understanding for why GGG even would suggest these changes. They aren't aimed at low levels. They are aimed at higher levels in standard leagues.

Edit: I do agree though with that it should be based on level. So many systems are based on levels and so should exp penalty.

I only confirmed i dont play a high lvl at his moment in time, bud did in CB. As far as i know those penalties where active then? If im wrong pls do say.

So i do understand the impact of these. Also i dont see how my not having a high lvl char at this time is relevant to the topic? Penalty was in service before OB.

And that makes 6s not allocated? No

You need to get back to your original thinking guys... you wanted FFA loot because you wanted that hardcore edge in the game. Now i can understand the ability to choose perma/short/FFA loot for rares, uniques and high end currency items but anything else should be fair game.

Even in a perma loot group 6S, 5L and 4L non rares should be FFA. Also scrolls and low level currencies like scraps, transmutes, chromes, glassblowers and alterations should be FFA as well. Almost every docks run i do finishes with about 50 wisdom and portal scrolls all over the ground that i would more than happily fight for.

Keep the high end loot allocation to rares and currencies of jewellers value and higher.

Also i agree that the exp penalty would be better as 5% and 10%. 15% is too easy to get back and when level 90 players have maps that match their level they too will find it easy to get back.

Sigh... of all the discussions on these boards, you decided to fold under casuals pressure and just flat reduce it? There were way more useful ideas if you were considering changing the penalty this is just...

Another bandaid 'solution' to qq, cut it in half why? What does it actually achieve? I'm sorry but this is plain stupid.

It makes you able to compete for 6s. And yes, you can use the old ninjatricks such as bodyblocking to prevent other people from reaching the 6s.

instead of this add a new currency item which can be used to escape the death penalty. The higher the lvl the more units of this new currency you need.

People who dont die get the benefit of being richer because they dont need the new currency.

What it achieves is retaining a larger % of the population. If you think standard is becoming too casual, by all means go to races or go to hardcore/onslaught.
